Hi there,
We don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.
Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.
Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, then change your nameservers to WordPress.com. You can add email with this support guide:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/
However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to two different IPs from the list below.
- 192.0.81.250
- 66.155.11.238
- 76.74.254.123
- 192.0.80.250
- 76.74.254.120
- 66.155.9.238

What I provided you was not to set up your email. You asked:

So I provided you the IP addresses, but I do recommend setting it up via the nameservers. If you set to your domain to point to us via the A records you shouldn’t have to change your custom DNS for your email. However, if you set up your domain to point to us via your nameservers, you would have to add custom records to set up your email.
Please contact your registrar and email host to figure out the best solution for you. Once you have decided let me know and I can check if your records are set up correctly.
